Robin Williams was in the "early stages" of Parkinson’s disease at the time of his death, his wife said in statement today (Thursday).

Susan Schneider said her husband had been sober but "not yet ready to share publicly" his struggles with the neurological disorder. She added that Robin had also been suffering from anxiety and depression.

The 63-year-old actor was found dead in an apparent suicide on Monday.
